About this tournament

Simcoe County finally has a new disc golf course! This new course is an 18 hole course located at The Heights Ski & Country Club in Horseshoe Valley (just 15 minutes north of Barrie). This new course features 3 sets of tees per hole to challenge all skill levels, which allows us to FINALLY offer a sanctioned event catered to every division!

The Heights Slopeside Sling is here for the 2026 season, and we are happy to announce that we are an official stop on the Ontario Disc Golf Tour! This means that the top 3 players from every qualifying division will receive their spot for the Ontario Provincial Championships in October taking place this year in Kemptville.

We will be running tee-times all day both days, with everyone playing 1 round per day. This allows us to get the biggest field possible (approximately 188 players based on project tee schedule), reshuffle cards between rounds, and showcase this amazing new course to as many people as possible.

The Courses Future
-------------------------------

As amazing as this event and course is going to be, as of right now, the course is only temporary, and the support, and success of this event is going to directly impact our ability to get this course in the ground permanently. All proceeds from this event (including all green fees), and going straight to The Heights in an effort to recover the cost of the turf tee-pads installed for this event, as well as to fundraise to buy brand new, permanent baskets for the course following the completion of this event. Lets show the club how incredible our community is by supporting this event by registering, buying raffle & 50/50 tickets, buying food and drinks at the on-site pub, and coming out and supporting the players party on the Saturday night! Thanks in advance for all of the amazing support I know you will all show for this property, course, and event.

Saturday Players Party
-------------------------------

To showcase the amazing on-site pub, the incredible staff an facility, to help raise funds, and of course to get all of you amazing disc golfers together for a night of fun, we will be running a players party on the Saturday night. This event will have the pub open serving food and drinks all night long, putting and other disc golf competitions happening outside the clubhouse, live entertainment, and possibly some other exciting things in store! Final details will be posted as soon as they are finalized.

Course Access & Practise Rounds
-------------------------------

At this time, the property is closed for the ski season as that is the properties main business. As soon as the snow is mostly melted and the ski hill is closed for the season, our team will be out on the course in full force to finish the design of the course, get all baskets and tee-pads installed, and get the course ready to open to the public. Our goal is to have the course open by the first week of May, which will give everyone about a month to get out, see & practise the course, and truly experience the incredible property. As soon as the course is in the ground, we will also be running weekly leagues (pending as every Thursday to align with their pub night). These league nights will feature divisions for all skill levels, and will have pub open for food and drink before/after every round.

Additionally, although this course will be a pay-to-play course (with both day passes and yearly membership options available), everyones registration for this event will grant them access to one daily pass to use on any day of their choosing once the course is open to come practise the course to prepare for the event.

This course and its design is a work in progress, so there may be small tweaks the layout during the first few weeks of the course being open. With that said, we will make sure to have the final layout for event in place no later than 1 week prior to the event, so people coming up the weekend before the event can practise the exact layout they will play during the event.

Players Pack
-------------------------------

We have seen a lot of love for the optional players back over the last few years at the Sandy Hollow Open, so we will be running this event with no players pack, allowing us to put more of your money into the payouts and trophies. We will be paying out the top 45% of each amateur division and top 40% of each pro division, with trophies to the top 3.

Registration Cost Breakdown
-------------------------------

Pass-through Fees:
• $4 - PDGA Fee
• $4 - PDGA TD Fee
• $3 - ODSA OCC Tour Fee
• $15 - Green Fees

For amateurs, the remaining $34 of your registration will go towards trophies for the top 3 in your division, as well as merch out for the the top 45% of your division!

For pros, the remaining $54 of your registration will go towards trophies for the top 3 in your division, as well as the cash payout for the top 40% of your division!

Trophies
-------------------------------

While we will be awarding trophies to the top 3 of each division, this will only happen for divisions with registrants in them as of Thursday, April 30th. We will be placing our trophy order on Friday, May 1st, and any divisions with no registrants will not get any trophies, and any divisions with less than 3 players as of May 1st will only have trophies for the amount of players registered at that time. If players from these divisions register after May 1st, requiring new trophies, those trophies can be ordered after the event at the expense of the players wanting one.

Added Cash
-------------------------------

Since this is a B-Tier PDGA event, we require $750 of added cash, but we are happy to announce that we will at the very minimum be having $1000 in added cash for the pro division, but we are working hard at obtaining sponsorships to try and increase this number, as well as add some value to the amateur divisions as well.

Held Spots
-------------------------------

We want to ensure everyone, and every division has en equal shot to play this event, so we will be holding spots for every division for 2 weeks (until Saturday, March 28th @ 7:00PM). After those two weeks, all unopened spots from divisions haven't filled will be released to the waitlist.

Tee Assignments
-------------------------------

The course is still in development, but once the course layout has been decided and finalized in the spring, we will play test it with players from all skill levels and use the feedback provided to select an appropriate tee assignment for each division.
